Syona's First & Second Swim Lesson

Syona and I enrolled in a Mommy and Me swim class at the AVAC swim school. This was my 30th birthday present from dada and I couldn't have asked for anything more than swimming with my little fishy. Dada accompanied us to this first class. After changing Syona into her certified swim diaper and baby gap swimsuit, we waited in the viewing area for them to call her name. The pool was heated at a lovely 87 degrees F, perfect. After sitting Syona on the side ofthe pool and sliding in and saying, "Ready Syona" and bringing her in after me, we sang a welcome song to welcome each of the 4 kids in the class. We sang, "Who's in the pool? Syona is in the pool" as we swayed our babies side to side. Soo fuun. We learned and practiced kicking and back floating. At one point in the class, the teacher exclaimed, "Good kickers Syona!" Mama was so proud! Haha. Syona was really enjoying the backfloating also and was so comfortable she was even reaching to find her toes on top of the water, hahahaha. During her second swim lesson, Syona learned to dunk her head underwater and also practiced "Big Arms" which are the arm strokes. After class, we put on Syona's Nike Women's pink swim robe like a true athlete and she fell asleep on the way home!
